SATIN-FACED FABRIC.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 413,534, dated october 22, i889.

Application filed April 19, 1889. Serial No. 307.833. (Specimens.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RICHARD B. MORRELL, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State o f Pennsylvania, have invented anew and useful Improvement in Satin-Faced Fabrics, which im provement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawing.

My invention Consists of an improved satinfaced tapestry fabric composed of face-warp threads, backing warp threads, fine' pick threads, and backing-weft threads, the face- Warp threads being lioated to form a satin surface and bound by the fine pick threads, and the backing-weft threads being bound to the line pick threads by the backing-warps, said backing-weft threads giving body and substance to the backing. v

The figure represents alongitudinal section of a piece of fabric embodying my invention. Referring to the drawing, A designates a piece of satin-faced fabric or tapestry constructed in accordance With my invention, it being Composed of satinwarp threads 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, binding-warp 4threads 1 8 2 9, fine pick weft threads 10, amd backing-weft threads 11.

It will be seen that the satin-warp threads 3 4 5 6 7 are oated to form a face and surface bypassingv in succession around the fine pick weft-threads l0, the said fine pick threads 10 being used to hold the satin face to the body of the fabric, and being bound to the backing-weft threads 11 by the binding-Warp threads l 8 2 9 passing around both of the said wefts. The backing-weft threads 11 are used to give body and substance to the fabric. The binding-warp threads l 8 2 9 are used to stitch and hold the fine pick weft-threads l0 and backing-weft threads 1l together, and the -said backing-warp threads pass alternately above the ine pick weft-threads and in pairs beneath the backing-wefts 11.

Having thus described my invention,what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

An improved satin-faced tapestry fabric composed of face-warp threads,backing-warp threads, fine pick threads, and backing-weft threads, the face-Warp threads being floated to form a satin surface, and bound by the ne pick threads, and the backing-weft threads being bound to the ne piek threads by the backing-warps, said backing-weft th reads giving body and substance to the backing, substantially as set fort-h.
